The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, beg to differ. The point of universal health care is, wait for it...
to deliver health care. If we are not delivering it now, despite spending more as a % of GDP than anyone, why not?

You are right in your surmise only if you expect to leave the parasites in place, adding universal care on top of the money wasted on useless middle men and robber baron hospital CEO's, (who write their own pay packages), and let Pharma decide what they should be paid for their products, (often developed at tax payer expense).

But I assure you I am right, that we can easily afford care for everyone, ie universal, with the dollars already being spent. We just need to direct the torrent of funds in a more useful direction.

Or is that tooooo socialist for you.
